Ip8500 ink tank full error message

[Exspextations]

I have the smaller but similar iP4000. Following my procedure it enters service mode without problems. The procedure is the same for the iP8500. I don't know if you are doing something wrong or the printer is defective, I suggest to read the whole thread and specially notice posts # 2, 6, 8, 12, 15, 20 and 22.

The links in post #2 are still active so I suggest to download the zip folder from electrotanya with the service manual, parts cartalog and more if you haven't done so already. Also study the excellent instruction in English from druckerchannel.de.

Do you have a link to the YouTube video? Not all YouTube instructions are OK, to say the least.

Thanks for your feedback and my apologies for the delay in responding, but the printer completely died on me and I was trying to resuscitate it - all to no avail. As I have had many years of good service out of it it is time to retire it to the recycling centre. Once again my thanks.

Thank you for the feed-back, even if it was not a happy one.
